John Shuttleworth Takes the Biscuit! – Graham Fellows

In conversation with Mark Perkins

10 October, 2025 at 7:00 pm

Join actor and musician Graham Fellows – born and raised in Sheffield, and creator of the much-loved fictional singer-songwriter John Shuttleworth – for an in conversation event with behind-the-scenes insights into nearly 50 years in comedy. Graham will discuss his new book – John Shuttleworth Takes The Biscuit! – exploring the wonderfully mundane world of Shuttleworth and his life in and around Sheffield. Graham will delve into his own varied career from his punk-pop beginnings as Jilted John, to memorable appearances on British television (including playing Gail Tilsley’s love interest—twice!) and may even discuss the time he rented out his spare room to actor Mark Rylance!

“Heart-warming yet always laugh-out-loud hilarious, Graham Fellows’ genius creation is the balm we need in these troubled times” Steve Pemberton
